Well tonight I was “fun” – a customer hit me up via email saying their forums had been hacked, thankfully the subject line was one of frustration so reading the subject I didn’t wet my pants with the classic “THE SERVER IS HACKED!” which has been done before, but I do understand the feeling, frustration, fear, that comes from your site getting hit.

Thankfully her backups were only a day old, and so the database restore took some tweaking, but it got back online – ho-hum, sad stuff, I know in my youth I had too much spare time with computers, heck I chatted weekly in my “art group” making software tweaks, chatting about servers, using ol IRC – but no one in our group was descrutive. But none the less, times change, so let this be a warning to everyone out there – update your scripts, its not a time consuming thing – just means 10-15 minutes out of your day to help keep your site running smooth – and helps me get some sleep (really tired lately).
But that’s it really, just a little un-winding post, these situations get me worked up a bit, always hafta check servers over afterwards – but its nights like this lately I want to say “Anyone want to buy a hosting company?” – I think I’d like being a traveling photographer / piano man 
Night folks.
